Billy faces a desperate situation

Lola has a new social worker named Trish Barnes, who turns up unannounced. At first, Lola isn't even at the house to see her, as she is out buying emergency nappy supplies for Lexi. Billy becomes even more nervous about what Trish will think when Lola has Jay with her when she returns. Soon afterwards, Trish starts asking questions about Billy's employment status, having noticed that Butchers Joints has closed down. However, Billy assures her that he still has a job in the cleaning department, meaning that there is still a secure income for the household.

Later, Billy manages to convince Michael to carry on with the cleaning company. However, he has some tough challenges ahead as many of the clients have already switched to another firm. Billy manages to get back the B&B and the R&R, but when he shares news of the day's successes with Michael, the ruthless businessman has a change of heart - showing him the door and declaring that he is no longer employed…

Meanwhile, Christian wants to set an earlier date for his wedding to Syed, believing that the profits from the recent cleaning product sale will fund the ceremony. Syed is reluctant to tell Christian the truth about how the deal fell through, so he uses Zainab as an excuse not to rush things - claiming that she needs to get used to the idea.

Later, Syed's lies become more tricky to maintain when Zainab asks him to help Tamwar pay an urgent bill for the Argee Bhajee. Still feeling unable to tell the truth, Syed agrees. His troubles then get worse when Zainab reveals that Christian came to talk to her, and she is thrilled they are setting an earlier date for their wedding.

Joey and Lauren soon start using the stock as target practice, but a newly-returned Tyler is livid when he walks in on their fun. How will he react to the news of Anthony's departure and Derek now owning the emporium?

Also today, Sharon and Jack share a kiss as they enjoy a date together, but Jack decides that things shouldn't go any further tonight - declaring that he really likes Sharon and wants to take things slowly.
